Chemical Treatment Against Termites

Repellent Chemicals

Repellent chemicals are easily detected by termites and avoided. So they provide excellent protection in treated locations. However, if not all areas are treated, or the treated areas become disrupted, termites can recognise the gaps and gain access via them.

Bifenthrin is the commonly used chemical repellent, with a residual life span of as much as five years.

Non-Repellent Chemicals

Non-repellent treatments aren’t identified by termites, and they don’t avoid the treated areas. As a result of this, termites will pass through the chemical and die as a result of contact with it. Individual termites will transfer the chemical onto other colony members, causing a flow on effect.

Because the termites do not identify non-repellents, they don’t recognise untreated and treated locations, and thus access through possible gaps is limited.

A commonly used non-repellent is Fipronil, with a residual life of up to eight years.

Various Termite Baiting Systems

By using an Above Ground System, termites can be exterminated from your house by placing bait stations at the site of white ant activity, and encouraging the pests to eat the bait matrix instead of the wood they were eating. This soon kills the termites that eat the bait, and there is also a compounding effect when worker termites return to the nest and feed that bait to fellow nest members.

The entire colony may be exterminated in this fashion, regardless of if the location of the colony is known or not. The area should be regularly monitored so if needed, stations can be rebaited or moved, or more can be added, depending on the observed activity.

In Ground Systems may be used similarly to Above Ground Systems. However they are typically installed around the property to provide early detection of termites. This method is especially vital when the building design prevents the effective use of perimeter barriers, as they stop the termites before the perimeter is breached.

Benefits of Termite Baiting Systems

• Not impacted by weather conditions
